Yet another example of a law being created to protect a victim-class. This is the problem with many of the laws that are created to "protect the children." It raises an emotional issue...which triggers a response from the judge/lawmaker's constituency.
The way the law should have been worded is to have made it an add-on crime, much like the posession of weapons during the commission of a felony. The posession of a knife/gun may not be illegal on its own, but it certainly adds to the seriousness of a crime. In my opinion, the posession of such materials IN ITSELF is not a crime - possession of same materials that lead to sexual misconduct should bring a harsher penalty.
